General  Ledger  (1896-1898) 


This  ledger  covers  the  period  January  1896-September  1898.  As  the 
account  book  of  final  entry,  it  summarizes  transactions  relating  to  the  sale  of 
phonographs  and  records.  Included  are  stock,  capital,  sales,  advertising,  talent, 
and  payroll  accounts.  Many  of  the  accounts  pertain  to  sales  representatives, 
including  general  sales  agent  George  E.  Tewksbury  and  New  York-based 
dealer  F.  M.  Prescott.  The  book  contains  1004  numbered  pages,  many  of  which 
are  blank,  and  an  index.  The  spine  is  stamped  "Ledger  No.  1  Natl’  Phon’o  C°" 
and  is  labeled  "Jan  28*  1896  to  Sept  30th  1898."  The  entries  are  written  in  faint 
green  ink,  and  some  may  be  difficult  to  read. 

This  book  has  been  filmed  at  a  reduction  ratio  of  16:1.

Profit  and  Loss  Statements  (1896-1899) 

These  three  loose  pages  cover  the  period  March  1896-March  1899.  They 
provide  summaries  of  the  costs,  sales  revenues,  and  inventories  at  the  end  of 
accounting  periods.  The  products  covered  include  phonographs,  spring  motors, 
and  musical  records.  The  entries  on  the  first  two  pages,  written  in  faint  green 
ink  and  smeared  red  ink,  may  be  difficult  to  read.

List  of  Molds  and  Catalog  Numbers 

This  undated  book  probably  covers  the  period  December  1897-March 
1901.  It  is  one  of  three  books  used  by  Albert  Wurth  relating  to  electroplated 
master  molds  for  phonograph  cylinders  (see  also  N-91-11-24  and  N-97-12-15, 
Notebook  Series).  Standard  size  and  concert  molds  are  listed  separately. 
Included  are  the  names  of  the  recording  and  talent,  mold  numbers,  National 
Phonograph  Co.  catalog  numbers,  and  remarks  concerning  the  quality  of  the 
mold.  Some  of  the  pages  contain  annotations  made  by  an  archivist.  The  front 
cover  is  labeled  "List  of  Moulds  and  Catalogue  Numbers"  and  "Concert  Mould 
on  Page  34."  The  book  contains  198  numbered  pages. 

Blank  pages  not  filmed:  6-29,  32-33,  46-198.

NORTH  AMERICAN  PHONOGRAPH  COMPANY  RECORDS 


Though  not  a  founder,  Edison  was  involved  with  the  North  American 
Phonograph  Co.  (NAPC)  prior  to  its  organization.  Incorporated  in  New  Jersey 
on  July  14,  1888,  the  NAPC  was  the  marketing  intermediary  between  the 
Edison  Phonograph  Works  and  the  regional  companies  operating  in  the  United 
States  and  Canada.  The  company’s  founding  directors  included  Jesse  H. 
Lippincott,  the  sole  licensee  of  the  American  Graphophone  Co.,  who  acquired 
the  Edison  Phonograph  Co.  on  June  28,  1888  and,  along  with  it,  exclusive 
rights  to  develop  the  phonograph  patents  commercially  in  the  United  States 
and  Canada.  The  NAPC  subsequently  acquired  Lippincott’s  phonograph  rights 
and  his  interest  in  the  Edison  Phonograph  Co.  It  also  joined  Lippincott  in 
several  contracts  with  Edison  and  the  Edison  Phonograph  Works,  and  it 
became  liable  for  its  own  as  well  as  much  of  Lippincott’s  financial  indebtedness 
to  Edison. 


Edison  eventually  assumed  financial  and  administrative  control  of  the 
NAPC.  Between  December  1891  and  June  1892  he  became  a  member  of  its 
board  of  directors  and  executive  committee,  and  he  succeeded  Samuel  Insull 
as  president.  In  August  1894  Edison,  the  company’s  largest  individual 
bondholder,  called  his  bonds  immediately  due  and  payable.  The  company  was 
placed  in  receivership,  and  Edison  resisted  the  receiver’s  requests  for  the 
assignment  of  his  phonograph  patents.  With  the  founding  of  the  National 
Phonograph  Co.  in  1896,  Edison  resumed  dual  control  of  marketing  and 
manufacturing  the  phonograph.  He  also  inherited  legal  disputes  with  numerous 
NAPC  "sub-companies"  or  "subsidiaries."  These  regional  companies,  which 
were  organized,  licensed,  and  sometimes  partly  owned  by  NAPC,  operated  as 
franchises  with  exclusive  rights  to  lease  phonographs  and  graphophones  within 
their  respective  territories. 

The  records  of  the  NAPC  and  its  subsidiary  companies  cover  the  period 
1887-1905,  with  most  items  dating  from  1888-1894.  They  consist  of  board 
minutes,  financial  records,  legal  documents,  scrapbooks,  and  other  items.  Also 
included  is  a  stock  transfer  book  from  the  Automatic  Phonograph  Exhibition 
Co.,  the  firm  that  controlled  distribution  of  the  nickel-in-the-slot  machine.  A 
finding  aid  is  available  at  the  Edison  National  Historic  Site. 

The  documents  appear  on  the  microfilm  in  the  following  order:  (1) 
Minute  Book;  (2)  General  Ledgers;  (3)  Journals.

Local  Phonograph  Companies 
Convention  Proceedings 

The  Edison  National  Historic  Site  contains  the  first  two  volumes  of  the  proceedings 
of  the  four  annual  conventions  that  were  held  from  1890  through  1893.  The  first  meeting 
took  place  in  Chicago  on  May  28-29,  1890  and  was  called  to  order  by  Edward  D.  Easton, 
president  of  the  Columbia  Phonograph  Co.  Representatives  from  thirty-three  local 
companies  attended.  Each  company  was  entitled  to  two  copies  of  the  Proceedings.  Since  the 
meetings  included  frank  discussion  of  the  problems  encountered  in  marketing  the 
phonograph,  these  volumes  were  not  sold  to  the  public.  The  ENHS’s  copy  of  the  first 
volume  contains  the  following  inscription:  "To  Thomas  A  Edison  Esq.  from  Samuel  Insull 
This  volume  is  the  first  evidence  of  the  adaptability  of  the  Phonograph  to  practical  reporting 
New  York  22—  July  1890."  The  proceedings  of  the  first  meeting  were  published  by  the 
Country  Music  Foundation  in  1974.  See  Proceeding?  of  the  1890  Convention  of  Local

that  iu  his  o|iinioti  the  only  conclusion

the  Chicago  Central  I’honograph  Com; 
for  said  sum  of  §22.0110.  or  any  part 
thereof  and  that  the  existence  of  such 
a  dehit  on  the  hook  of  this  Company 
need  not  therefore  stand  in  the  way 
of  the  execution  of  the  new  contract. 

Hr.  llutler,  the  Treasurer,  then 
asked  .Mr.  Hush  if  he  was  prepared 
to  advise  this  Company  as  to  the  party 
or  parties  against  whom  this  §22.000. 
was  a  claim  and  what,  if  any, 
recommendation  he  had  to  make  in 
respect  thereto.  Mr.  Bush  replied 
that  at  present  he  was  not  prepared 
to  state  against  whom  such  claim 
could  he  enforced  and  that  lie  could 
only  suggest  for  the  present 
the  amount  he  carried  into  suspense

manner  so  that  the  consideration 


of  the  claim  might  lie  made  the

A.  0.  Tate,  Esq.,  A'ise-Presideut 

North  American  Phonograph  Company 
•It  I! road  St.  New  York  City. 

Dear  Sir: 

Your  favor  of  the  2Slh  inst.  at 
hand.  Contents  duly  noted. 

Of  course  we  are  well  aware 
under  the  XI  Section  of  the  agreement 
between  the  North  American  and  the 
New  England  Phonograph  Companies 
you  have  the  rigid,  to  establish  the 
price  which  the  local  companies 
shall  pay  for  machines  in  case 
that  sale  is  ordered  by  the  North 
American  Company.  Thereupon  we 
have  nothing  to  say  in  regard  to 
the  increased  price  of  ten  dollars 
to  the  original  price,  now  making 
the  machines  billed  to  us  at  One 
hundred  and  live  dollars  (§105.) 
each,  thereby  leaving  Ninety  Dollars 
to  be  divided  between  the  North  American 
Company  and  the  New  England 
Company. 

hut  we  desire  to  call  your 
attention  to  the  injustice  of  such 
a  step  of  this  to  the  local  company 
■who  has  to  pay  out  a  commission 
of  ten  per  cent,  to  Agents  or  canvassers 
who  arc  using  efforts  to  sell  machines 

211 

throughout  their  territory  which  is 
necessary  when  it  is  ns  large  ns 
that  of  New  England.  AVhen  you 
do  this  the  New  England  Company 
only  gets  thirty  dollars  out  of  it, 
and  you  get  forty  live  dollars. 


And  it  seems  to  us,  that  it 
necessarily  tend  to  curtail  la 
the  sale  of  machines  in  this  U 
Without  further  comment: 
add  at  this  time 
We  are 

Yours  \

Sir.  Hush,  at  the  request  of  the 
Vice-President,  explained  to  the  Hoard 
the  general  condition  of  litigation  in

had  been  taken  by  the  New  York  Phonograph 
Company  with  the  view  of  entering  °  1 
into  the  new  Agreement 
„  J.r.r-  Byd*  tlien  called  the  attention 
of  the  Board  to  the  fact  that  there 
were  various  General  I?  el  eases 
which  under  arrangements  heretofore 
made,  it  was  necessary  for  this 
Company  to  execute  in  connection 
with  settlements  made  with  Mr.  Edison, 

Mr.  Lippincott,  The  Edison  Phonograph 
Company,  and  on  motion,  duly 
seconded,  the  following  Resolution

allowance  of  ten  per  cent.  (10%)  on 
gross  receipts  up  to  Three  thousand 
(§3000)  Dollars  and  together  with 
some  further  allowance  ior  expenses 
and  stated  that  while  lie  did  not 
intend  to  reflect  discredit  on  Mr.  Leeds 
still  that  he  did  not  think  that  in 
addition  to  maintaining  an  ollice  in 
Chicago,  this  Company  was  at  the 
present  time  in  a  position  where  it 
could  stand  an  expense  of  any 
such  out-lay  as  the  General  Manager 
I  bought  that  all  obligations  encumbent 
proposed  making  in  Denver  and  he 
upon  this  Company  to  keep  a  place 
for  the  distribution  of  machines  and 
supplies  in  Denver  could  he  readily 


met  hj  tht  selection  of  a  dealer  there, 
rather  than  by  maintaining  an 
Agency  at  so  great  an  out-lay. 

The  matter  was  quite  fully  dis¬ 
cussed  and  thereupon  on  motion 
"tf  seconded  by  Mr.  Tremaine

General  Ledger  (1893-1894) 

This  ledger  covers  the  period  December  1893-August  1894.  As  the  book 
of  final  entry,  it  summarizes  transactions  relating  to  the  sale  of  phonographs, 
graphophones,  nickel-in-the-slot  machines,  and  recording  cylinders  in  the 
United  States  and  Canada.  Included  are  sales,  royalty,  and  rental  accounts; 
advertising,  promotion,  and  territorial  franchise  accounts;  experimental 
expenses;  commissions;  and  accounts  concerning  stock  and  depreciation.  Many 
of  the  accounts  pertain  to  the  regional  phonograph  companies,  as  well  as  the 
North  American  Phonograph  Co.’s  operations  in  New  York  City,  Chicago,  and 
Buffalo.  The  front  cover  is  marked  "Ledger"  and  "1894."  The  spine  is  stamped 
"Ledger."  The  book  contains  501  numbered  pages,  most  of  which  are  blank. 

This  book  has  been  filmed  at  a  reduction  ratio  of  16:1.
